Which type of Sandbox allows users to create new data without existing data from the org?

1. Full Sandbox

2. Partial Copy Sandbox

3. Developer Pro Sandbox

4. Developer Sandbox

The correct answer is: Developer Sandbox

The Developer Sandbox is specifically designed for development and testing purposes, providing a space to create and manipulate data without bringing in any existing data from the organization. This allows developers to experiment, build new features, and test applications in a clean environment. The constraints of a Developer Sandbox include a limited storage capacity, which encourages a focus on coding and testing rather than large-scale data management. In contrast, other types of Sandboxes like Full and Partial Copy Sandboxes include existing data from the production environment, which is useful for testing with realistic data sets, but does not fit the requirement of allowing users to create new data without any pre-existing data. The Developer Pro Sandbox has more storage than a Developer Sandbox but still involves existing data unless specifically set up to not use it. This distinction makes the Developer Sandbox the appropriate choice for creating new data independently of the organization's existing data.
